Direct Deposit (DD) adds a new menu item Print Direct Deposit Paychecks. This lists the employees who want direct deposit, prints a check-like, one employee per page report and also creates the file that the bank needs.

1.Sign an agreement with the provider. Obtain any information you need from the provider, which may include a PIN, a Tax ID (EIN), a login ID, and a password.

2.Obtain agreements, required by the provider, with each employee who wishes to use Direct Deposit.

3.Run Payroll/Configure/Company Information. The Direct Deposit file requires special configuring in order to be created in the format required by your Direct Deposit provider.

a.Interface type. Select your provider or the Interface type required by your provider from the drop-down list. b.Enter any additional required information, which should be supplied by your provider. c.Press the OK button to finish.

The Interface type “Generic CSV” generates a generic file that can be modified for providers who are not directly supported. The Generic CSV file format is included for your information at the end of these instructions.The type "none" indicates that you do not want to use Direct Deposit.

Configure Employees for Direct DepositNext you “turn on” Direct Deposit and provide the bank information for the employees who want Direct Deposit of their paychecks.

a.Verify the Payroll bank account ID, bank account number, and the effective date. Click OK. b.The displayed employee list should include the employees who are new to Direct Deposit and those whose Direct Deposit configuration has changed since the last time you submitted a Prenote file. Make sure that the new and changed Direct Deposit employees are checked. Click OK.

The system automatically selects only the employees who are configured for printed paychecks. You finish processing “paychecks” for the Direct Deposit employees in the next step.

a.Print a non-negotiable check and stub for distribution to each Direct Deposit employee in the pay frequencies you just ran. b.Automatically post the pay run to your books for the Direct Deposit employees in the selected pay frequencies. c.Automatically create the Direct Deposit Paychecks file that contains each Direct Deposit employee’s paycheck and bank account information.
